IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens Shear Bolts for
replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolt may
result in severe damage to unit.
Occasionally a foreign object may enter the auger/
impeller housing and jam the auger, breaking Shear Bolts
which secure the auger to the shaft (Figure 6). This
allows auger to turn freely on the shaft preventing
damage to gear drive.
IMPORTANT: After breaking a shear bolt, check unit for
damage and repair before operating unit.
For Replacement:
1. Slide auger outward against roll pin and align hole in
shaft with hole in auger (holes in shaft for roll pins
and Shear Bolts line up).
2. Drive Shear Bolt through hole (if Shear Bolt was
broken this will drive remaining part from shaft).
3. Secure Shear Bolt with nut.
